1. Stroll along the Salford Quays

There’s something magical about the Quays in winter. The reflections of the buildings and bridges on the water create a picture-perfect scene, and there’s plenty of space to stretch your legs. Why not grab a coffee from one of the local cafes to warm your hands as you wander? Don’t forget to snap a photo of The Lowry or the iconic MediaCityUK skyline.

2. Escape to Clifton Country Park

This hidden gem has a lakeside path offering stunning views, and you might even spot some local wildlife if you keep your eyes peeled. It’s a great choice for families, with wide paths perfect for prams or little ones on scooters.

3. Discover the charm of Worsley Woods

If you’re craving a woodland adventure, Worsley Woods has you covered. The crunch of leaves underfoot and the crisp winter air. Follow the looped paths and explore the area’s historic canal network while you’re there.

4. Enjoy a walk around Peel Park

One of Salford’s oldest parks, Peel Park offers a blend of history and greenery. With its open spaces, it’s a lovely spot to clear your mind. Don’t forget to check out the statues and plaques dotted around the park – there’s plenty of history to uncover.
